The Underwood Community School District is a rural public school district located in Underwood, Iowa. The first school in the district was built in 1863, in Downsville, IA. The school was moved to Underwood, IA in 1903 following the incorporation of the town and subsequent abandonment of Downsville. In 1926, the high school was founded.[2] The district headquarters are in the elementary-middle school, while the high school is a separate building.[3] The district, entirely in Pottawattamie County, serves Underwood and McClelland.[4]

The school mascot is the eagles and the colors are royal blue and white.

In 2006, the original Middle School was torn down and a new building was constructed as an addition to Underwood Elementary School. In 2014, Underwood High School saw a lot of significant remodeling.[5]
